Discover The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba Spa which fosters wellness, tranquility, relaxation, and inner and outer beauty. The following guidelines are provided in answer to our guests’ most frequent questions.
When should I arrive?
Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled treatment. This will allow time to relax in the lounges, steam rooms, whirlpools and relaxation room.
Arriving late will simply limit the time of your treatment thus lessoning its effectiveness and your pleasure. Your treatment time will not be extended as we cannot delay the next guest and the full value of your treatment will be charged.
What about my jewelry and valuables?
If you are staying in the hotel, please leave valuable items in the safe in your guestroom. Otherwise, lockers are available for your personal items in the Spa. We are not responsible for any personal items and/or valuables brought into the Spa or left in your locker.
Use of cell phones, electronic devices, cameras
To protect the privacy of our Guests and to preserve the Guest experience, use of cell phones, electronic devices and cameras are prohibited in the Spa. Cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off.
What if I have gender preferences?
If you prefer a male or female therapist, please make your gender request when scheduling your appointment.
What is the cancellation policy?
If you must reschedule or cancel your appointment, please notify the Spa at least six hours in advance of your appointment to avoid being charged the full service fee. Any appointments rescheduled within the six-hour window will incur a move fee of $ 25. Cancellation of packages or private parties require one week’s notice. Groups are subject to a four-week cancellation policy.
What about gratuities?
For your convenience, a 22% service charge will be added to each spa service you receive. You may opt to leave additional gratuity at your discretion.

What if I am late for my appointment?
